Rose Simpson, member of The Incredible String Band, was recently interviewed for a forthcoming documentary on the Sound Techniques Studio – with a print from our “55 Covers” calendar strategically placed by her side. Fame!

And now for something slightly different – here’s a quote from the back of the forthcoming Lefty Frizzell box:

“…This 20-CD set includes every 78, 45, and LP track from Lefty’s entire career. Plus every unissued session recording. Plus over one hundred non-session recordings.Newly discovered acetates and “live” recordings have been added to Bear Family’s 1992 edition and previously issued non-session recordings have been painstakingly restored. That’s 361 tracks, including David Frizzell’s audio biography that was not on our original LP box, and many that weren’t on the first CD box!

Lefty’s family and others provided a trove of previously unseen photos and ephemera.Charles Wolfe’s original classic text has been revised and expanded by Lefty’s biographer, Daniel Cooper, and Texas music expert, Kevin Coffey. It is now the definitive account of an incendiary career that ended in 1975 when Lefty was just forty-seven years old. The book is now a 264-page hardcover and greatly expanded in every way – the last word on one of country music’s truly foundational artists.”
